    Introduction: In this study, we investigated the association between -786T/C polymorphism of the endothelial nitric oxide (NOS3) gene in which thymidine is replaced by a cytosine at nucleotide -786 (rs 2070744) and coronary collateral circulation (CCC) in patients with stable coronary artery disease. Materials \& Methods: 286 patients having a critical stenosis (> 95\%) in at least one major epicardial coronary vessel were included in the study. CCC was defined according to the Rentrop classification (R). Patients with R0-1 CCC were included in the poor CCC group and subjects with R2-3 CCC were assigned to the good CCC group. The polymerase chain reaction method was used for genotyping. 152 patients with poor CCC and 134 patients with good CCC were examined. Results: The frequency of cytosine-cytosine (CC) and thymidine-cytosine (TC) genotypes and allele C were higher in the poor CCC group, but the difference did not reach statistical significance. In the dominant model, the frequency of CC+TC vs. thymidine-thymidine (TT) genotypes was significantly higher in the poor CCC group (67.1\% vs. 54.5\%, respectively

    Association between serum vitamin D levels and subclinical coronary atherosclerosis and plaque burden/composition in young adult population
    (ASSOC BASIC MEDICAL SCI FEDERATION BOSNIA \& HERZEGOVINA SARAJEVO, 2015-01-01) Satilmis, Seckin; Celik, Omer; Biyik, Ismail; Ozturk, Derya; Celik, Kubra Asik; Akin, Fatih; Ayca, Burak; Yalcin, Burce; Dagdelen, Sinan
    Evidence suggests that low 25-OH vitamin D (25)(OH)D concentrations may increase the risk of several cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, peripheral vascular disease, diabetes mellitus, obesity, myocardial infarction, heart failure and cardiovascular mortality. Recent studies suggested a possible relationship between vitamin I) deficiency and increased carotid intima-media wall thickness and vascular calcification. We hypothesized that low 25(OH)D may be associated with coronary atherosclerosis and coronary plaque burden and composition, and investigated the relationship between serum vitamin I) levels and coronary atherosclerosis, plaque burden or structure, in young adult patients by using dual-source 128x2 slice coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA). We included 98 patients with coronary atherosclerosis and 110, age and gender matched, subjects with normal findings on CCTA examinations. Patients with subclinical atherosclerosis had significantly higher serum total cholesterol, triglycerides, hs-CRP, uric acid, HbA1c and creatinine levels and lower serum 25(OH)l) levels in comparison with controls. There was no significant correlation between 25(OH)D and plaque morphology. There was also a positive relationship between 25(OH)D and plaque burden of coronary atherosclerosis. In multivariate analysis, coronary atherosclerosis was associated high hs-CRP (adjusted OR: 2.832), uric acid (adjusted OR: 3.671) and low 25(OH)D (adjusted OR: 0.689). Low levels of 25(OH)D were associated with coronary atherosclerosis and plaque burden, but there was no significant correlation between 25(OH)D and plaque morphology.
